By Michael Kahn

Last year, Midtown snatched national recognition as a "Great Place to Live," as development in the neighborhood continued to ratchet up. As we settle in to 2017, the horizon shows no hints of the growth slowing down.

Not all projects are colossal, but collectively, this amount of activity is fairly staggering for a single submarket.
